Jazz: The Smithsonian Anthology
''JAZZ: The Smithsonian Anthology'' (catalogue SFW40820) is a 6CD box-set released by Smithsonian Folkways. The set includes 111 tracks with representative works from New Orleans, big band, cool, swing, bebop, hard bop, free, funk, fusion, Latin and contemporary styles. An accompanying 200-page textbook includes historical essays, musical analyses, and contemporary photographs of the musicians.
==Compilation and Release==
Following requests for an update to Martin Williams’ 1973 Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz, Smithsonian Folkways began the process of selecting music for a new Jazz anthology in late 2004. Over 50 acknowledged jazz experts reviewed a list of 2,500 potential tracks to be included within the project and agreed that the set should represent the development of jazz through the 20th century. By March 2005, Smithsonian Folkways staff had compiled a 300 page document explaining the positive and negative aspects of each potential selection.〔Burgess, Richard. "Producer’s Note," liner note essay. ''JAZZ: The Smithsonian Anthology'', 2010, Smithsonian Folkways Recordings.〕
Smithsonian Folkways formed a second executive committee of five members in June of the same year. In order to keep the set at a price affordable for students, the committee established the goal of narrowing down the selections to approximately 110 tracks on six discs. To make their final decisions, committee members focused primarily on the historical impact of a given recording and the significance of the artists themselves, rather than the recording’s commercial success.
After several years of deliberation, the executive committee finalized the selections for the anthology. The committee then contacted over 30 authors to write articles for the recordings which pertained to their personal areas of research. Smithsonian Folkways officially released the Anthology on March 29, 2011.
